Celebrations abound for the best of the best in Joburg
JOBURG – If there’s one thing the Best of Joburg team knows how to do, it’s how to spoil.
This is precisely what the team did last week to congratulate the winners of the Best of Joburg Readers’ Choice Awards 2019 and to celebrate with some of the readers who voted in the competition.
The festive week kicked off on the evening of 21 October at the Best of Joburg Reader Winners’ Dinner, fittingly held at the best new restaurant in Joburg, Daruma By Oskido in Waterfall Corner. How do we know this is the best new restaurant in the city? Well, because Joburgers told us so!
For the 24th year, readers cast their votes in the Best of Joburg Readers’ Choice Awards 2019 and this spot came up tops in the best new restaurant category. After tucking into some delicious sushi and teppanyaki dishes, we can say with certainty that we understand why Joburgers love it.
If you’re really lucky on a visit to this restaurant, you may just bump into the DJ, Oskido, himself. The readers who attended our dinner did, and, luckily, Oskido wasn’t opposed to posing for selfies with us all. Wondering how some readers bagged the invite to our event? All the readers who cast their vote in the Best of Joburg competition were entered into a lucky draw, and six super lucky readers (along with their partners) were invited to join our team for dinner and a chance to win some seriously awesome prizes.
So who were our reader winners and what did they win? Matthew Levine won a luxurious night’s stay for two in the presidential spa suite at Fairlawns Boutique & Spa
Gcobisa May won a two-night midweek stay for two at Walkersons Hotel and Spa in Dullstroom
Kerchia Pillay walked away with R20 000 worth of SPAR shopping vouchers
Kerry Miles won a Canon Powershot SX740 camera
Tamar Carzola won four vouchers for Life Day Spa
Kelly Robinson won a DeLonghi kettle and toaster set from Adams Discount Centre
Our team also presented Oskido with his certificate for best new restaurant to whoops, cheers and applause. Over the course of the next few days, we hit the road to hand over certificates and treats to the competition’s winners. Our Best of Joburg website and social media accounts were buzzing and, if you haven’t yet, then we urge you to visit these platforms to find out more about who snitched the win in each category.
Make sure to get your hands on our nifty little Best of Joburg booklet too – it’s sure to be a handy guide to find all the best things in Joburg. You’ll find it bagged along with the November issue of Get It Joburg North magazine at various stores, malls and shopping centres in Joburg. Here’s to another year of celebrating the best of the best in Joburg. Details: Check out Facebook (Best of Joburg), Instagram (@thebestofjoburg) and Twitter (@bestofjoburg).
